House Republicans pass budget blueprint to fund the Iran war and the SAVE America Act before August recess.
The House of Representatives approved a budget resolution to fund the Iran war, provide aid to American farmers, and promote the SAVE America Act. The administration announced the plan would allocate $60 billion to the Pentagon and $13 billion to intelligence agencies, while providing $12 billion to farmers struggling with Trump-imposed tariffs. The House passed the blueprint with a 216-214 vote, though the final legislation remains uncertain. While the SAVE America Act remains a priority for the administration, it faces potential hurdles in the Senate due to procedural requirements and the need for a 60-vote threshold. The House also passed a continuing resolution to prevent a government shutdown on Sept. 30. While Republicans supported the short-term funding, Democrats opposed it, arguing it failed to block funds for the mass deportation campaign. As lawmakers head into the August recess, the House has established a framework for the year's spending, but the final details of the budget and the fate of the SAVE America Act remain to be determined by the Senate.
